Resolute desk

Time has a really nice photo of the Resolute desk plaque.

  1. I think I read somewhere that the desk can be configured so the plaque faces toward the President or toward the room?
    I'm curious.
    I've looked at several pics of the desk "at work", but the plaque isn't showing in any of them so if it can be facing out, the Presidents must be choosing to have it face them.

  2. It is a beautiful desk.

    I know that Presidents Kennedy, Carter, Reagan, Clinton and GW Bush have used the desk. I wonder if the next president will use it as well?

  3. I know when JFK used the desk, the plaque faced the room. To the best of my knowledge every other president has had it facing them.
